Corrections: January 15, 2016

FRONT PAGE

An article on Dec. 10 about Marco Rubio’s efforts to undermine an element of the Affordable Care Act referred incorrectly to one element of the legislative history. While Mr. Rubio was the most prominent congressional opponent of the so-called risk corridor payments in the health law, and introduced measures to undermine them, other Republicans were ultimately responsible for inserting a provision into a 2014 spending bill that limited the payments. The error was repeated in a picture caption with the continuation of the article.

•

An article on Dec. 21 about gay Nigerians’ contention that American support for gay rights in Africa has done more harm than good, using information from United States officials, misstated the amount of financing provided by the government to support gay rights globally since 2012. At least $41 million has been spent by the United States for that specific purpose, not more than $700 million. (Gay communities and causes have also received a portion of $700 million, which was spent on marginalized and “at-risk” groups, American officials said.) The article also misstated, in some editions, the given name of a Nigerian fashion blogger who said pushing too hard for gay rights could make things “bad or worse.” He is Abayomi Shoyinka, not Aboyani.

•

An article on Jan. 6 about policy changes sought by antigovernment protesters in Oregon misstated the year of a standoff in Nevada between another protester, Cliven Bundy, and the Bureau of Land Management over grazing fees for federal lands. It was 2014, not 2015.

•

A picture credit on Wednesday with the continuation of an article about President Obama’s State of the Union address misidentified the photographer in some editions. The picture, of Mr. Obama and members of Congress, was taken by Stephen Crowley, not by Doug Mills. (A similar picture by Mr. Mills was in an earlier edition.)

INTERNATIONAL

An article on Sunday about a proposal by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany for tougher laws regulating asylum seekers in the wake of New Year’s Eve assaults on scores of women in Cologne misstated part of the surname of a demonstrator at a rally in Cologne who urged Germany to preserve the rule of law. She is Irmgard Schenk-Zittlau, not Schenker-Zittlau.

•

An article on Wednesday about a suicide bombing in Istanbul that killed 10 foreign tourists misspelled, at one point and in some editions, the name of the historic district where the attack occurred. As the article correctly noted elsewhere, it is Sultanahmet, not Sultanahamet. The error was repeated in an accompanying picture caption in some copies.

SPORTS

A Sports of The Times column on Tuesday about Nick Saban’s legacy as Alabama football coach compared to Bear Bryant’s misidentified the university at which Saban began his head coaching career. It is Toledo, not Youngstown State.

THE ARTS

An article on Jan. 4 about the graphic novelist Gene Luen Yang, who was named by the Library of Congress as the national ambassador for young people’s literature, referred incorrectly to him. He is a second-generation American, not first-generation.

•

An article on Tuesday about some of David Bowie’s best and most widely loved songs referred incorrectly to his album “Heroes.” Only the album title and the title track carried quotation marks, not every song on the album.

•

Schedule information on Wednesday with a theater review of “Museum of Memories” misidentified the theater where the production is taking place. As the review correctly noted, it is at the Duke on 42nd Street — not at the New Victory Theater, which is presenting it.
